Memories of Dusk
Starting With a New Place

The plane landed and my feet began to step one by one down the plane. These eyes are looking around! This is the country I dreamed of! A country that I would love to get a lot of knowledge from here. Like a dream I can now set my feet here. What the most incredible thing. The greatest gift God has given me…

“Aaaaa Liana... I don't really think I'm here now,” I said cheerfully, at that time my heart felt very happy.

“Iya Sonya's. This is all because of your efforts,” Liana said with a smile on me.

“Thank you, you have always been there for me.” I said with teary eyes, I was sad and moved because I still have a good friend like Liana.

“Makasih continues what is said, already yes Sonya you do not have to constantly say thanks. I'm like your own sister,” Liana told me. He is always willing to help others. I am proud to have a friend like him.

“Iya I will say thank you because you have been willing to come with me to lecture here as well, you are the nicest person I know.” I said to Liana.

“Udah deh son, you do not need to say thank you. I also want to study here,” said Liana.

“You are indeed my best friendkk...” I said with praise Liana.

“Udah ah muji-muji hold. Let's go for a walk first,” Liana.

“Iya deh, ayoo..” I replied to Liana.

We both walked down the capital of the country. I really like this place. This is the country I will live in for the next 4 years. The country will be a temporary home until I can finish my education here.

Before we left for this country, Liana's parents had already found a place for us to live. The house is indeed not too big which is important that Liana and I can stay together. Liana's mom and dad will always call to make sure we're okay here and not doing anything out of bounds. It was getting late, we decided to go home and rest.

“You know his path Li?” I asked by looking into Liana's eyes.

“Iya tau donkk Sonya. Father and mother have given me her address,” Liana replied.

“Come Son.. Night hunt nihh,” take Liana again to me.

“Iya yes let's go home,” I said to Liana.

We took a taxi to our house. Very far away from the location of his home. However, it is quite close to our campus. In order to save more costs that is why Liana's father and mother are looking for a place to live not far from campus.

“Thank God, we finally arrived at home.” my words are full of gratitude because we arrived home safely.

“Eeehh ehhh first clean up your stuff Sonya. Don't mess up so,” said Liana.

“Iya Liana, bring amet sih,” said me with a slightly irritated face.

“Biarin. If I don't bring you later can't be disciplined and neat in your life.” said Liana.

“It's like your mom, yeah,”.

“It is precisely because your mother is not here that I will replace all the badness of your mother.” replied Liana.

“Iya yes Lianaa, whatever it is up to you.” my mengueyel.

“Don't ngeyel Sonya,” says Liana.

“Iya Liana I love...” I said with a sweet-ass face.

We cleaned up our things and put all the clothes in the closet and other things in place.

“Son, Hp you sound nihh...” shouted Liana.

“Ha Yes Li,” I replied.

I saw the call coming from my mother and I picked it up.

“Hallo mom...” I said in that call.

“Hallo darling, how have you arrived yet?” ask mother.

“Mommy already.. Just finished cleaning up the stuff,” replied me.

“Sonya.. You should be fine there. Don't be naughty yeah,” yelled dad in the phone.

“Haa father.. I will always take good care of myself here,” I said.

“Dad and mom will call you later, baby you rest first. Surely you are tired,” said mother.

“Iya mother.. Don't forget to eat, mom. Assalamualaikum,” I said to end the phone.

"Waalaikumsalam dear." replied the mother who then closed the phone.

I got a phone call from mom and dad. And Liana as well. However, I have not received any news from Dimas. I tried asking Liana if Aldi was preaching to her.

“Haa Sonya, what's up?” liana replied by asking me in surprise.

“Aldi already called you?” my many.

“Already. Just now,” replied Liana.

“Oh yesudah if that is so,” I said.

“What's Sonya?” ask Liana.

“Dimas has not told me..” replied me with a sad face.

“Continue? You just keep quiet until she tells you?” liana said in an annoyed tone.

“Then I have to how?” my many.

“Son.. You guys are a couple, so what should always be Dimas who refuses to contact you first? If you are worried, try to try to ask first whether he has arrived or not.” said Liana.

“Iyaa.. I tried it a day yes,” I replied.

“Yaudah if so I take a shower first. Don't forget to lock the door of his house,” said Liana.

“Iya Liana,” I replied.

I went to the front to lock the door. And after that I tried to send a message to Dimas.

“You've arrived? Why is there no news?” ask in that message.

I waited 20 minutes just to get word from him.

“Sorry I just got back. I'm at home my mom and dad Sonya,” Dimas replied.

“Then. You rest yes,” reply me.

“Iya darling.. You also yes,” reply Dimas.

The message ended there. I don't want to pay it back. I feel like something has changed a little. It hasn't been a day yet but I feel the cold nature of Dimas. He even let me wait for 20 minutes just to get back!

“Son.. You didn't shower?” ask Liana.

“Lazy ah Li,” reply.

“What's the matter Son?” ask Liana.

“Special Dimple Attitude. He started cold, but it was also only a day.”, I said.

“Son, maybe he is tired because it's only until.” said Liana.

“But Li,,” saidkuuu in an annoyed tone.

“Listen, if you keep your own who will lose.” said Liana.

“Iya I know, But it's Li..” Speak to me with disconnected.

“Gini, you're here thinking about him. Do you know that he was thinking about you? Your job here is to study Son! Not to think about it. Remember the soul mate is not going anywhere,” said Liana.

“Each bosss... All your words are true, and I will obey.” I told Liana.

“Iya donk's... You must be able to control your heart.” Liana said by pointing to my heart.

“Oke from now on I will try not to think all about Dimas. If he ngabari I reply and if not ngabari well I try to first chat. If not reciprocated you've let it go,” I said.

“Haha is donkk, new Sonyaku.” said Liana.

“Still yes.. You always make my heart's anxiety so calmer.” I told Liana.

“Son, you're like my own sister. I have to remind you when you will be missteps.” said Liana.

“You have a lot of photos. I love you,” I said.

“Pokonya you must remember, Your country is waiting for you back. Your parents want you to come back to get a good job and and be able to become famous entrepreneurs like them.” Liana said.

“Aaaa very dear to you.. Thanks,” I said with a hug Liana.

“Idih you alay nih.. 'h already ah let's eat first. After that we rest yes already night, tomorrow the first day we go to college.” Liana told me.

“Iyah ayoo Li,” I replied briefly.

We headed to the dinner table for dinner. We cook ourselves here. Learn to be independent and eat as is. Even though we are both quite successful, Liana and I do not want to be too burdensome for our mother and father. Especially about doank! We don't have to eat expensive food. Simple food is also not papa as long as it is healthy.
